Mr.. EDIToR:-It is an open secret in
this section, that numerous ANONYMOUS let

various persons at the Rising Sun P O

pose Of playing practical joke on differ

posing personal proclivities of doubtful
proprety and some to scatter seeds of dis

and unhappiness where they were sent.
These anonymous and disguised missiles,
have been under the cover ofdarkness. and

information coming through reputable au-
thority compels us to believe that in few
cases at least, SO far as heard from, it has
been the case.
This condition of things in any neigh
borhood, even in the mildest form is il
source Of much regret in the minds of pe,-
pie that are cultivated, but in its worst
form, it is a cause of deep sorrow in the
mind of any one who possesses even one r.
deeming trait of heart or mind.
No one who believes in the elevation OF
humanity, no one who has been even halt
"well-bred'', no one who possesses one whit

pretext.
She said Cannon Farrar at dinner CIV
en- him by the Prest. of Harvard University
and surrounded by the members of the SEN
ior class of the College said: "T am total
abstainer for the sake of the human race"
and Miss Willard added she was an alb
stainer for the sake of the human race, for
the sake of the nation, for God and Christ
Kingdom.
This should inspire any philanthropistic
woman or man to unite in this grand
work. The helpless, the tempted,
the weary and the heart broken are looking
with eager eyes toward the women of this
country with the mother love in their
hearts and the sister help in their hands.
Regarding High License Miss Willard
said the W. G. T. U. would never touch it
the only place they would consider it
"high" was when embodied in the word
Prof High )bition and that the Mayor of
Chicago deemed it unadyisable to close the
saloons, since they were the places where
thieves and criminals could most easily be
caught and thereby lesson the expense of
the detectives work.
In speaking of Female Franchise (of
which she is a warm advocate) she said
that. civilization had advanced az far as it
could under man alone, that tt had but one
foot, one hand, and has occupied but poorly
the position of mother to half orphaned
world, and that the present corrupt condi,
ton of politics would be materially chang
ed and purified when women had the bal
lot. Tie change must be similar to the
contrast between the smoking car and the
parlor car, Que filled with fumes and the
other filled with perfumes She closed with
vivid picture of the results that would
follow.
While listening to this gifted and elo-
quent woman one is very much impressed
with her familiarity with the scriptures and
her many quotations therefrom with their
forcible applications.
Her deep piety truly inspires one with
reverence, and the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union should feel proud that
their organization is in the hands of this
deeply religious and efficient leader and
surely her place would be very difficult to
fill should it be made vacant.

week has been an agreeable surprise
to everybody. The dry up however
leaves them in terribly rough state,
and now is the 'iine Tor supervisors

knobs, clear out he bitches and the

The County Commissiope ers at theil

The County Commissioners at their
monthly session last week showed
some healthy signs of an inclination
to do some vigorous kicking, kicking
against some old polictical customs
which will be more honored in the
breach than in their observance.
They decided not to be hasty in max.
ing new contracts for the, repair Of
the roads, but to allow the present
Supervisors ample time to put them
in the condition required by law be
fore giving them certificates for the
present quarter. embracing the
months Of January, February and
March. About SIS, 900 is required to
pay these certificates and the Board
were OF tue opinion that this amount,
properly expended on the roads
would put them in good order. Su-
pervisors are expected to 90 to worl
as soon as the weather will permit
The Board adjourned to meet ON
Tuesday 22nd inst, when they w'l
fix upon date for disposing of the
roads for the coming year. Contracts
will e made for only one year, SO
that the next Board and the next
Legislature may be free to make ANY
changes they desire in the pres ut
system.
In few days the roads ought to be
dressed ready for the summer wear
Now is the time to scrape out ditche>
and fill up the RUS. One week.
work we'll applied the latter part of
March would be worth a months
work at any other time during the
year.
1t would seem that the Board have
some misgivings as to the infallibilily
of the present system. They will dis.
cover if they have not already done
50, that all political road making is
snare and delusion. If we could
get business system once instituted,
the tax payers and roads would both
be greatly benefited by it. The farm
ers don't as general rule, very well
understand their own business, on
which they rely for their bread and
meat, and it would not be reasonable
to believe that they are masters OF
road building.
The present Board of Commission.
ers are the first in the present gener-
alton at least, who have shown a
disposition to take the bit in their
teeth and tell the Supervisors when
they shall work, in peremptory
manner. They have evidently learn
ed good deal and we move they be
sent back next term TO give the pub
lie the advantage of their experience
gained. 1t has been the practice Of
the Boards heretofore to work for the
success of the party the following
year, and the Supervisors knowing
this bossed them right along. The
present Board are evincing com
mendahlc disposition to take hand
at the bossing and the public will not
fail to thank them for it,

CAUGHT WITH SUGAR.
The Monkeys Fatal Curiosity Proves
It's Ruin.

A gentleman who returned recently
from Aspinwall, says the New York
Mail, tells the following curious story
Of the manner in which the natives Of
the interior Of the Isthmus of Panama
capture monkeys: 9'r@
"Almost all the pet monkeys in this
country said he, ''come from Gorgone,
small village half way Oh the line Of
the Panama railroad. The inhabitants
are mostly native negroes, for no white
man could live in the village month
unless he drank whiskey and took qui-
nine constantly. The surrounding
country is swampy and covered with a
dense mass Of LUXURIOUS vegetation. At
nightfall a, thick miasma rises from the
ground and hangs over the forests like "a
cloud. This place is the monkeys par
adise. They travel through the forests
In troops, going wherever the king mon
key leads. When the natives have
been apprised Of the presence Of troop,
they so about warily to catch them.
Their plan is a simple one. A hole is
cut in the shell Of a cocoanut just large
enough to admit monkeys unclosed
paw. The cocoanut is scooped out and
a lump of sugar placed in the hollow.
A string Is then attached to this novel
trap and the negroes conceal themselves
until the monkeys pass by. Curiosity
is one of the chief characteristics of
these little creatures, and when they
espy the cocoanut lying upon the
ground they come down from the trees
and proceed to inspect it carefully.
The lump of sugar does not long escape
their notice, and one OF them thrusts
paw through the aperture TO grasp it.
With the lump of sugar clasped in his
hand, he finds it impossible to Withdraw
it, nor will his greedy nature allow him
to abandon his prize. The negroes
have no difficulty III drawing him near
eli and nearer to their ambush. the
whole troop scampermg madly about
him, chattering and gesticulating as
only monkeys can. When they have
arrived within easy reach a large net is
thrown out and they are made prisoners.
Twenty and thirty are Often captured
at one haul. The natives sell them to
the employees Of the Panama railroad,
who in turn dispose Of them in the
American markets.

The Curse OF Gold.

InJapan the mining Of gold and sill .
YER was prohibited in olden times be-
cause3of the suffering which it had
caused; the people. The Portuguese
had gone to Japan and established a
system Of slavery in the mines. Thou
sands of the people had been forced to
workin the mines until death had re-
leased them to furnish gold for tile
monarchs Of Europe. 1t was not until
1924, after long and disastrous war,
that the late Portuguese were expelled
from the country. Foryears after that
the Japanese would not work the mines
nor allow others to do 50 and they even
refused TO allow Europeans to enter the
country. -..... t.3sss
The negroes Of the Congo know the
location Ct .;s;;c!, geld mines liz their dis
}trict.' but, because OF the sufferings they
have been subjected to, they refuse to
ldlvulge their hiding place, Vfor fear
they Will again be dragged into slavery.
The mines Of the Malay peninsula
are closed for a like reason. Since the
Portuguese, who held the Malays in
subjugatian for centuries, have been
expelled, no mining has been done, and
the inhabitants keep the superstitions
alive by horrible stories Of the atroci-
ties practiced by the old Portuguese.
